50 Passengers released after 72 hours from Kuwait Airport

Kuwait has allowed more than 50 Syrians who are Kuwaiti residents to re-enter the country after they were held up at the airport for nearly 72 hours and told their passports were being checked for possible forgeries, some of those in the group said Thursday.

There was no immediate comment from airport authorities in Kuwait City, where the Syrians, including children, were barred from entering the country over the weekend.

Kuwait is home to more than 130,000 Syrian nationals, according to Kuwaiti government statistics released in 2014.
